Short Summary

My name is Paul Lapusan, I am an artist that mainly works in pen and ink drawings. I received a degree in Studio Art from Saint Louis University and have been working as an artist and doing other small jobs since graduating. My work has been featured in many different venues and shows in the area including, Naughty Gras, Saint Louis Art Fair, Laumeir Art Fair, Koken Art Factory, and Mad Art Gallery. In addition to working on projects for these shows I make custom artwork and have been working on a few ideas for comic books. Progress on current works and projects can be seen on my facebook page.

The nitty gritty of this project is to be able to raise funds for a move into a new place where I will have more space to create. In addition funds will also go to a new scanner from which I will be able to archive my work better, and be able to print archival quality prints.

What We Need & What You Get

I have been drawing my whole life and being able to have time and space to do my art is something that is very special to me. While I have had successes with my art work so far, I am just starting my career as an artist. With more funding I can take more time to focus on my art which is the most important thing in my life.

For donating I will be giving out some of my own work both as prints and as originals. At higher levels there is even the option of custom work.  

Here are some examples of the type of work I do.

Impact

This campaign will affect my life by allowing me to continue to do what I love without as many stresses. With your help I can continue working on my current projects and not have to worry about taking long breaks in between my work to do other jobs. While I will continue to work and sell my artwork elsewhere I will be able to work a lot more on my long-term projects and finish them. I can also save my work in better quality and be able to provide more print options. Even if we do not reach goal the money raised will go to more supplies and time to do my work.

Other Ways You Can Help

My work is available on other sites including and Etsy Store, and a Society 6 Shop. If you do not feel inclined to donate here visiting and purchasing from those shops also helps. And please share this with anybody you can who is interested in the arts and helping an artist.
